Compare solo Bitcoin mining pools
How SoloLuck compares
Solo-mining odds are identical on every pool — no pool can improve them, no matter where you point your miner. So choose on the things that actually differ: fee, latency to your region, encryption, and features. Here is an honest side-by-side — SoloLuck and Public Pool are both 0% fee, so choose on region, latency, encryption and features, not price.

| Primary server region | Southeast Asia · Jakarta | US / EU / SG / AU | Single US | Anycast · 8 PoPs / 6 continents |
| Stratum latency from Indonesia* | ~6 ms · Jakarta | ~17 ms · SG node | ~250 ms · US | ~6 ms · anycast |
Where SoloLuck stands out: Southeast Asia low latency (~6 ms from Indonesia vs ~250 ms to US solo pools), encrypted TLS stratum, a CPU-friendly Nano tier (plus a one-click Windows app), live per-address stats. Where others win: Public Pool is fully open-source and self-hostable, and AtlasPool runs global multi-region anycast. On all of them the block reward is paid on-chain straight to your address.
So which should you pick?
- You are in Southeast Asia (or want the shortest hop to a Southeast Asian node) → SoloLuck gives you the shortest network hop (see Ping for what that does and does not mean).
- You mine on a CPU or small Bitaxe → SoloLuck's Nano tier (min diff 1) and Windows app are built for you.
- You want fully open-source, self-hostable software → Public Pool (GPLv3; its 0% fee is the same 0% as SoloLuck).
- You want global multi-region anycast → AtlasPool (8 PoPs across 6 continents).

Whatever you choose, keep your own BTC address as the username — that is what makes it true solo. See /status for our live hashrate and block count, and /verify for how to check every claim yourself.
Independent tracking: SoloLuck's live hashrate, miner count and 0% fee are listed on miningpoolstats.stream, the long-running pool directory — a third-party view you can cross-check against our own /status.
Competitor details verified June 2026 from each pool's public docs; they can change — confirm on the pool's own site before deciding. *Latency rows were measured in June 2026 by repeated TCP connects (median of several samples; tails were higher) from one consumer fibre line in Indonesia — a single vantage, not a universal figure. SoloLuck's ~6 ms was re-verified 2026-07-03 (median 6.2 ms of 8 spaced connects, same line); measure your own on /ping. Lower network latency may improve connection responsiveness; it does not by itself guarantee fewer stale shares or lower block-orphan risk — work-update speed, node connectivity and block propagation also matter.
Quick answers
Do solo pools change the odds of finding a Bitcoin block?
No. Solo-mining odds are identical on every solo pool; choose by fee, latency, encryption, transparency, and features.
Which solo pool should miners in Southeast Asia try first?
SoloLuck is built around a Jakarta endpoint for Southeast Asia. If another pool is closer from your location, use the shortest reliable hop instead.
Does SoloLuck take a fee from a found block?
No. SoloLuck is a 0% fee, true-solo Bitcoin solo mining pool. A found block pays the reward on-chain to the miner address used as the stratum username.
